Crown princess Margarita it seems very proud for the prince Nicolae.
 
It is wonderful the King's grandson wants more and more autonomy, prefers to live more on his own and he does not seem to be influenced by the "political correctness" of others supporting openly the Monarchy.
 
LadyFinn thanks for the great job you do and all information to give us.

That beautiful castle has been returned to the former royal family but is not used by them. The castle is on lease from the former royal family to the State of Romania, if I am correctly informed. The domain has a few hotels, restaurants, holiday villa and estates in use by the State of Romania.

Interesting.

:flowers:
 
I need to remind myself all the time that Princess Margaretha and Radu are NOT the parents of Nicholas. They are always around him. I seldom see his mother. Is Princess Elena deliberately keeping a low-key position?
 
Let's hope his vision will be linked with the restoration of Monarchy and not with a sort of compromise with the republic. He obviously prefers to be ass much as possible in the middle of the people and not at Elisabeta Palace.

It is important that he attended both Orthodox and Greek-Catholic celebrations for Easter respecting the two traditional Romanian Churches.

No, it is disgraceful. Romania is an Orthodox country and culture, -a reality which the Uniate Catholic Church always tried to undermine. It is shameful that he chooses to be diplomatic, rather than generously practicing at the most important feast of his country's dominant Church. Very sad.
 
First of all the term "Uniate" is really offensive. All those who know the history of the Romanians recognize the fundamental role of the Greek-Catholic Church. The Constitution of 1923 spoke about two historical Churches and the Royal Family respects this reality even today.
Romania is not "an Orthodox cuntry" and does not have an official national Church but 18 denominations equally treated by the state.
The Romanian state was built by two Catholic Kings (Carol I, Ferdinand I), the National Anthem was composed by the Greek-Catholic Andrei Muresanu, the most important anti-communist leaders were the Greek-Catholics Iuliu Maniu and Corneliu Coposu and the Declaration of Union of 1918 of Transilvania with Romania was read by the future Cardinal Iuliu Hossu.

Nicolae wrote today to his Facebook that they are near the end, today from Bucharest to Călărași. He doesn't want the Tour to end and is sad that it ends tomorrow.

Today they arrived to Călărași, the weather wasn't so good, rain and wind.

:)I see what passion has prince Nicolae about this. BRAVO

It would be foolish to separate the religions. Should be very careful and advise him wisely at all steps to do. So far makes a great job.

Romania is a memberstate of the European Union and as such underlines the European Convention on Human Rights. Article 9 of that Convention says:

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion;
this right includes the freedom to change his religion or belief
and the reedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private,
to manifest his religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance.

Nicholas just does not make a difference between Orthodoxes and Catholics and that is a very, very wise thing to do. Never stir up religion.
 
Isn't the main purpose of constitutional monarchy in Europe to be an apolitical symbol for all of a country's citizens and not favour one group over another? Not aware of Romanian politics but from a Swedish point of view Nicolae did the right thing to attend both churches.

The fact he attended Easter celebrations both in the Orthodox and the Greek-Catholic Cathedrals of Cluj represents a return to the traditions of the Royal Family and a real understanding of the religious diversity of the country.

In theory yes, but in the United Kingdom the Sovereign still is the (formal) "head" of the Church of England... One can say that the Queen is impartial but we see that the Church of England still has executive powers others do not have, for an example to have its bishops seated in the House of Lords, the upper House of Parliament.

In Romania the Sovereign is not the Head of any Church/denomination, there is no official national Church and all the 18 denominations are equal. The Easter gesture of the King's grandson is so perfectly normal taking into account that in the same King's Family there are both Catholics and Orthodox.
 
Today the last day, from Călărași to Constanța, where they should be at 19.00.
Nicolae wrote to his Facebook: Today is the last day of the tour 'childhood books on bike' and it was a wonderful experience. Asociatia Curtea Veche and I are very pleased to receive support on the road and in the cities from authorities and cyclists. I hope that we can move forward together and our message has been understood. Children are the future of our country. Let's encourage them together in education, health and happiness and all the world around them.
Thanks very much for those who cycled with us especially in Calarasi where it rained! a good day
